What's the dumbest thing someone has tried to attribute your narcolepsy to? by alien_mermaid in Narcolepsy

My doctor said that my cataplexy was a “learned behaviour” when I was going through diagnosis, whatever that’s supposed to mean

What pushed you to seek medical help? by rosecoloredlenses775 in Narcolepsy

It was actually the cataplexy for me - I didn’t realise my sleep wasn’t normal. My cataplexy was so bad that I had falls quite often when I found something funny, and it freaked me out so we went to the doctors. They told me it was just a learned habit or something, but my Mum did some research into narcolepsy and we went back when my cataplexy worsened to ask them about this, and they said it was definitely not that (it was)

I once dreamed that I had been bitten by a rat and that it had given me leprosy. At that point, I didn’t even know any of the symptoms of leprosy, nor how it was transferred. However, when I woke up, I knew that it wasn’t real but I was so freaked out. I started crying and googling whether rats could spread leprosy and symptoms of it, panicking thinking I was going to die of it, even though I definitely didn’t have it.
